Screw the 'tush push'. I want my sporting tournaments decided by something called the super duper.

Drags on a bit in the last 30 but I actually loved a lot of this. A lot of bits that are executed really well. Basically every performance is perfect for what they’re going for too, really fun film.

Fine. Just watch bringing up baby instead. Needs to be at least 30 minutes shorter
